Step 1:

Work in a restaurant during high school for the experience, even if it is in a noncooking position. You will learn what it is like to be on your feet for long hours.

Step 2:

Ask your guidance counselor if there is a training program in your community for chefs.

Step 3:

Understand that to be a successful chef in an urban area you must have years of hands-on experience and formal training. Schooling can take four years. See the American Culinary Federation Web site (acfchefs.org) for information about accredited culinary schools, apprenticeships, certification, jobs and related organizations.

Step 4:

Decide what type of cooking you would like to do and in what type of kitchen you would like to work.

Step 5:

Realize that an apprenticeship may require you to first work the least-skilled jobs in the kitchen. As you develop skills and further your education, you can advance up the culinary ladder in a larger restaurant by becoming a line chef, sous-chef, head chef, executive chef and, finally, master chef. Pastry chefs follow their own distinct ladder.

Step 6:

Make certain you will possess the education, experience and skills necessary for your certification as a chef by the American Culinary Federation.

Step 7:

Take appropriate business courses if you would like to open your own restaurant eventually or advance to a managerial or executive position

Answer 7

Most businesses will require that you have some kind of qualification in cooking and kitchen management/organization, because those courses will also cover health and safety aspects of working in the kitchen and teach you how to manage yourself efficiently ina busy kitchen- which companies also require from you apart from just being able to cook
